Why do we preach the gospel to the poor and needy?

In Luke 14, Jesus advises us to invite the poor, the maimed, and the blind to our feasts, as they represent those who truly understand their need for God's grace. This directive emphasizes the importance of presenting the gospel to those who may feel unworthy or marginalized. When we share the message of salvation, we are called to focus on those who are most aware of their spiritual bankruptcy. Their hunger for hope and healing makes them particularly responsive to the love of Christ, which fulfills their deepest needs.
